After few weeks of not writing and no posts on my blog due to personal issues (my husband relocation to another state and I have to handle 5 kids alone - yeah, I know itrs just my excuses), finally I got myself together and sit down to write an amazing post review.
Unfortunately, I could not log in into my Amazon Associate. After trying many times without success, I open my email and get notification about my associate account was closed. Its really make me feeling down and keep me thinking about give up.
WHAT BEHIND IT
The reason given by Amazon is due to not enough sales. I only got one sales since I joined the program, so I agreed with Amazon. I already know I have to make minimum 3 sales within 180 days but I failed to do it.
My current state of unstable emotion would just tell me to give up when I am thinking for several posts I have writes promoting products from Amazon. Its such a waste of time and now I have to edits the posts again (or should I just hide all those review posts?)
Another good part of me accept this as a challenges. Amazon close my account due to my lack of commitment and this is my punishment. Maybe I
- did not promote suitable products
- my ways of writing reviews not convincing enough
- I did not work hard for it

- not enough review posts / contents
Its just my own feedback so, I would know something must be done to rectify the issues I have here.
My main mission is to continue blogging and this Amazon things will not make me give up blogging.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT
After getting the feedback, I listed several things I have to do to proceed with my blog.
1) Look for other Affiliate Programs - joined ShareASale, Commision Junction and with the helps of WA Members, I got to know few other programs and merchants.
My niche is home organization, I am still struggling to get the merchants but that is what I have to work harder.
2) Reapply and Continue Promoting Amazon
Amazon still my choice because its got thousand of products that is matching my niche and easy to write review about it. There are lots of works to update the link later, but its worth it in the future.
3) Do not put all your eggs in one basket
For my blog, I should not just focus on promoting Amazon only. I should give focus on other affiliates program and merchants as well.
4) Need to study and research the keyword offers by Jaaxy and the latest news on Google Alert to find the right products to promote
5) Redo the training on how to write review posts and learn how to make my posts look interesting and easy to read and understand.
6) Work harder and write more - follow my schedule.After being lazy for weeks, now this is a real challenge for me. I regrets my weeks of lacks of focus on my blog.
WHO SUPPORT ME
I am grateful because I have WA community to advice me when I am down and do not know what to do when something like this happen. All the feedback I listed up there are actually the advice I got from this community. I am thankful and that is why I write here, so I can always remind myself what I got to do now.
Thank you all friends in WA and I am grateful for being here.
